More and more people are leaning on ski-mo skiing as their form of winter exercise, and because of that more events have popped up across the nation. But its seems like Crested Butte has been on the leading edge and has stamped their name with the Grand Traverse, and the 17th Annual Gothic Mountain Tour.

The Gothic Mountain Tour is a gorgeous backcountry ski race that travels 22 miles and 5000 vertical feet around Gothic Mountain, just outside of Crested Butte, Colorado. It is a great training race for The Grand Traverse, traveling through similar terrain (some even say it’s harder). The race finishes with a party at CB Nordic’s Backcountry Yurt.
